  1. My thought on it is that by giving him opportunities the team is hoping that he can do something good here in the next few weeks to get something for him in an August trade. If this continues into September, he probably sits for the majority of those games. I hope I'm right.
  2. I still think it's a bummer that we celebrate the third black player to play in the majors and neither of the first two. Not saying that we shouldn't celebrate Robinson and dropping the 63 year ban that kicked the first two black players out of the league, it's celebration worthy for sure. I just think it appropriate to celebrate a Walker Brothers day as well. It might give us better perspective and appreciation from where we were and the progress we've made. I believe May 1st was Moses's debut. That would give us two days to celebrate.
  3. I can't find a way to sort by spin rate leaders (the statcast and savant websites are pretty terrible), but on a statcast podcast last year petriello mentioned Busenitz having the second highest spinning fastball of any reliever who threw 100 fastballs. The outliers at the top and bottom of the spin rate list (according to petriello) generally have fantastic outcomes. The names he was surrounded by are basically the who's who of best relief pitchers in the game and petriello adamantly suggested he will be the future closer for the Twins. I hope he makes this squad as he is one of the five best RH relief pitchers the organization has right now.
  4. Here I thought the 'two-two' was for stage plays and the guy on your slow pitch softball team who strikes out. Appropriate that it is now making its way into Twins team culture.
